Software-wise, AndroidandMe adds that the phone comes with "a whole mess of ringtones, live wallpapers, widgets, and photos. You even get a “binoculars” app to provide you with a Star Wars lens through which to view your ordinary world."

Phandroid writes that for Verizon customers that want some of the Star Wars experience on their Android 2.1 device, there will be a $2.99 download featuring possibly all of the software features that come with the Droid 2 R2-D2.

In addition, the Droid 2 world phone and Droid 2 R2-D2 phone share a similar looking appearance, with both devices having a silver bezel and white casing, with the only outer differences being a special bezel decal and the R2-D2 backing of the phone.

Androinica notes that "if past Star Wars collectibles are any indication, they’ll probably be sold-out in a short matter of time (hours, not days)."

AndroidandMe mentions that there were early rumors that the Droid 2 R2-D2 special edition "would be available online only, so unless this is a total reversal you might be able to save yourself the trip and just pick it up online at midnight on the 30th."

Unfortunately, I have yet to see any listing for the phone availabile online, so don't put too much trust into that advice.
